The Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET)
a proposed multi-user liquid bulk green energy terminal located in the Port of Immingham
has received development consent from the UK’s Secretary of State for Transport
marking “a big milestone” for the country’s energy transition
Led by Associated British Ports (ABP), the project envisions a new liquid bulk import terminal and associated processing facility for delivering a green hydrogen production facility. The first customer of the hydrogen facility would be Air Products importing green ammonia from its production locations around the world
Imported ammonia would be stored and processed at the site to create green hydrogen
Key project infrastructure comprises a new approach trestle
jetty superstructure and topside infrastructure
and land side processing infrastructure.
IGET is also an enabler of the Viking carbon capture and storage (CCS) cluster
ABP submitted the application to the Planning Inspectorate in September 2023 and received development consent on February 6
Chief Executive Officer at Associated British Ports
said: “Today marks a big milestone in the UK’s energy transition journey and we are delighted that the Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) project has been given the green light to progress to the next stage
We look forward to delivering first-class clean energy-enabling infrastructure for our customers to help their businesses grow.”

·New Access Road – a corridor between the new jetty and Laporte Road
10 February, 2025 By Thames Menteth
The secretary of state for transport has approved plans to build Immingham Green Energy Terminal – a new liquid bulk import and export terminal in Lincolnshire
The terminal will occupy an area of approximately 102.52ha on the eastern side of the Port of Immingham on the banks of the Humber
It will comprise a new liquid bulk import terminal and associated processing facility
Imported ammonia will be stored and processed at the site to create green hydrogen - hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water
using renewable electricity - for onward transport to filling stations throughout the UK
New infrastructure will be constructed as part of the project
as well as land side processing infrastructure
Transport secretary Heidi Alexander approved the plans last week (6 February)
after Associated British Ports (ABP) submitted an application to the Planning Inspectorate in September 2023
ABP chief executive officer Henrik Lundgaard Pedersen said: “Today marks a big milestone in the UK’s energy transition journey and we are delighted that the Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) project has been given the green light to progress to the next stage
“We look forward to delivering first-class clean energy-enabling infrastructure for our customers to help their businesses grow.”
ABP last month selected Bouygues Travaux Publics for the £170M design and build contract for the terminal, after launching the pre-procurement process in 2023
The contract will cover the construction of a jetty structure
which will be an open piled jetty approach trestle with an approximately 1.1km long deck on up to 219 steel tubular piles measuring 1.2m in length
construction on the port could start “in the coming months”
ABP Humber regional director Andrew Dawes said: “The Humber is the UK’s energy estuary and today’s announcement further strengthens this role
This success is the culmination of a lot of hard work with our partners across the region and it will be fantastic to see the economic benefits IGET will bring to coastal communities as well as nationwide.”
The development will be a major new addition to the Port of Immingham on the south bank of the Humber Estuary
which is already one of the UK's largest ports by tonnage

The new Border Control Post (BCP) has recently opened at the Port of Immingham with NELC’s Commercial Regulatory Team (who amongst other functions deliver the Council’s Port Health responsibilities) assessing thousands of imports each week
The main function of Port Health is to check incoming and outgoing vessels and relevant cargo to ensure people’s safety and the UK’s biosecurity
animal and environmental health requirements are met
What makes North East Lincolnshire so special though is that the Council acts as both a port health authority for Grimsby & Immingham ports and an inland authority for the whole borough
one of only a handful of authorities that do
situated on the South Humber Gateway of the Humber Estuary
are located on the busiest shipping estuary in the UK with approximately 40,000 vessel movements per annum
At the new BCP based just outside the Port of Immingham (both owned and managed by the UK’s largest port operator
they inspect a variety of food and feed products from countries all over the world
The cargo mainly arrives into Immingham by container or refrigerated trailer and
is generally destined for Grimsby cold stores
Immingham is by far the busiest port in the country
although the port is also an important route of entry for a huge range of meat
there has been a need to introduce import checks on EU origin cargo as well as that from the rest of the world
because free movement of goods between the UK and the EU has now ended. Because the vast majority of such products arriving into Immingham are of EU origin
that has led to a massive increase in work for the Commercial Regulatory Team
identity and physical checks of all relevant EU imports
100% of these imports have their documents checked and then a much smaller proportion are directed to the BCP for identity and physical checks. This means any products for human or animal consumption are subject to rigorous testing
These items can include fresh pork or poultry
pellets and other animal feedstuffs, coming from all over the world
Consignments arrive from the likes of Canada
as well as EU member states carrying cargo sometimes worth in excess of £100,000
the team can see over one thousand import notifications via the Government import control system
the Animal Plant Health Authority (APHA) and Border Force operate from the BCP too
The job of APHA is to inspect plant and plant products that have been imported whilst Border Force checks cargo for illegal products such as guns or drugs
as well as smuggled goods trying to avoid customs duties
teams have often already been provided with a digital copy of the paperwork detailing its contents
country of origin and other important information
This information determines whether or not it needs a full inspection
a Port Health Support Officer will be accompanied by either an Official Fish Inspector (OFI) or Official Veterinarian (OV)
dependant on goods in question. Official Fish Inspectors are Environmental Health Officers or Senior Food Safety Officers who have additional qualifications and they make decisions on imports of fishery products intended for human consumption
as well has high risk food/feed not of animal origin. Portal Official Veterinarians make decisions on all other products of animal origin
whether or not intended for human consumption
An identity check involves the product being checked against the paperwork to ensure they correlate
whereas a physical check can involve samples being sent for laboratory analysis
temperature checks or judging fitness to eat through appearance
smell or even taste. If all is satisfactory then the consignment will be cleared to leave the port and delivered to the customer
if the consignment is rejected the team can usually offer a number of options to the importer
They can send it back to the country of origin; the owner can apply for the use to be altered
such as changing from human to animal consumption or the owner can pay for the product to be destroyed
Members of the Port Health team at the Immingham BCP
Officers work a range of shifts throughout a 7-day operational week
These are 6am to 2pmor 12pm to 8pm Monday to Friday or a weekend shift from 8am-4pm in order to be in the best position possible to make decisions on consignments potentially arriving 24/7. The same officers are also involved in providing an export health certification service for local businesses exporting fish and other goods outside the UK from the North East Lincolnshire area
said: “The new facility is much better than our previous BCP
The technology is far more impressive and reliable which allows us to do our job much more efficiently.”
He added: “We have so many products that come through the BCP
People don’t always understand the volume of food or the depth of the examinations we carry out
A lot of work goes into getting these consignments from one place to the other
“It’s not just about the physical checks though
we also spend a lot of our time checking the documents that come with the cargo
we have checked over 17,000 documents which equates to just over 800 a week.”
This variation of documents and products is what John enjoys most about his job
“Although it may look like we’re doing the same thing over and over again
each container has a different product that needs different checks carried out
the difference from one consignment to the next is what makes the job so interesting.”
As the 23,000-tonne strategic Ro-Ro vessel
Eddystone inched its way through the massive locks separating the Humber estuary from the calmer waters of Associated British Ports’ facilities at the Port of Immingham
a milestone was being achieved in how UK Defence will project its global presence in the years to come
The arrival of the Eddystone packed to the gunwales with military hardware from the Greek port of Alexandropoulos followed Exercise Steadfast Dart in Romania
This marked the first practical demonstration of the recently signed strategic agreement between the MoD and Associated British Ports (ABP) that allows their numerous sites around the UK coastline to be used by UK Defence to ship its equipment and vehicles when it deploys overseas on operations and exercises
armour and thousands of tonnes of equipment would pass through its sole military port facility located at Marchwood
The new agreement is of strategic significance as it provides additional options to Marchwood greatly reducing the associated risks of a single choice of port
the threat from aggressive states and actors is very real
NATO and our partner nations need UK forces to be able to rapidly deploy to deter
assure and - when the need arises - react to any player who would wish to undermine the security of Europe
The new strategic agreement with Associated British Ports plays an important role in strengthening the UK’s strategic base
bringing about increased speed and capacity with greatly reduced risk when deploying overseas that will certainly contribute to the lethality of Britain’s land forces
key signatory to the strategic agreement said: "I’m delighted to see the first demonstration of the new agreement between MoD and ABP come to life at Immingham port
This agreement marks a significant step in boosting the resilience
efficiency and agility of Defence’s Sea Mounting Capability by leveraging ABP’s national port estate
The partnership with ABP plays a pivotal role in fortifying the UK Strategic Base
a cornerstone essential for Defence to effectively deploy
the agreement spawns further benefits and efficiencies
Points of disembarkation for deploying units can be selected closer to their garrison locations resulting in less road moves with subsequent fuel and monetary savings and
a much-reduced impact on the carbon footprint
the vehicles rolling off the Eddystone at Immingham will journey on to their final destinations at Catterick in Yorkshire and Oakham in Leicestershire rather than having to make the long drive up from the south coast
Field Army Deputy Chief of Staff said: "I am thrilled to see our new strategic relationship with ABP transition from concept to operational capability so quickly at Immingham Port
Joint effort to build an enduring and trusting partnership will deliver a step change in our ability to deploy
Access to the ABP port network provides the UK with a significantly more robust
resilient and efficient capability to deliver Sea Mounting as part of strategic base outload."
Regional Director of the Humber ports said: “The Humber ports are in a key strategic position on the UK east coast and this is a great honour to be offering Immingham to support the UK’s Armed Forces
Not only does this port call provide a local and cost-effective operation for the Desert Rats
it also gives all parties valuable experience of operating in different ABP locations and the options our port locations offer to scale up.”
ABP’s Senior MoD Engagement Lead said: “The discharge of the military hardware was the first since ABP signed the agreement
our strategic partnership with the Ministry of Defence gives it additional sea mounting resilience and enables seamless deployment and recovery of military vehicles and equipment across the nation
ensuring readiness for overseas missions.”

This is part of the wider Stallingborough development that will deliver up to a further 1.5m sq
of industrial and manufacturing space across the remainder of the site that benefits from an existing planning consent
“The site is one of the largest development land parcels in such proximity to the ports
and of significant scale versus wider opportunities in the Yorkshire region
The sizeable investment we made in this shows ABP is a key player in supporting the growth of commercial activities within the region.”
70 acres of the site will be developed for the automotive sector to support the growth at the Ports of Immingham and Grimsby for both existing customers for import and export and new entrants to the market
ABP will be looking to start on site next year with the scheme
The remainder of the application provides high quality green landscaping areas to boost biodiversity and a phase of ground mounted solar panels to provide green energy to the development
In a prime strategic location next to the A180 and located two miles from the Port of Immingham and six miles from the Port of Grimsby
the designated employment site is one of the largest of the original Enterprise Zones in the area and is key to future proofing the continued growth of ABP’s commercial business on the Humber.The site has been allocated in the local plan for employment use since 2013
Also referred to as Pioneer Business Park (PBP)
it has traditionally been used as agricultural farmland and is strategically positioned directly adjacent to the A180 dual carriageway
leading to Grimsby and local motorway networks
The site is also connected to the Humber Link Road
the new port connection road built in 2021 that links Immingham and Grimsby

The UK government has approved the £100 million Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro Terminal
paving the way for a major expansion of the port's freight capacity
The £100 million Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro Terminal has been granted development consent by the Secretary of State for Transport
marking a significant milestone in expanding the UK’s freight infrastructure
will be operated by Associated British Ports (ABP) and is expected to handle up to 660,000 units per year
The approved plans include a new jetty with three berths
and an internal bridge to improve connectivity across the existing port infrastructure
The facility is designed to accommodate larger vessels and speed up the turnaround times for ferries
The Swedish shipping giant currently runs four daily freight services from the Humber to the Netherlands
and this new terminal will allow for the relocation of Stena’s Immingham freight operation to a more modern and efficient site
The application for the development was submitted by ABP in February 2023
with the Planning Inspectorate accepting it for examination the following month
and other interested parties were invited to provide evidence and submit views
The Examining Authority considered these inputs before making its recommendations to the Secretary of State in April 2024
This project is the 53rd transport application out of 144 handled by the Planning Inspectorate under the Planning Act 2008.
ABP stated that the new terminal will not only facilitate quicker sailing times but will also create much-needed space at the port
allowing for future growth and improved operations
will benefit from the expanded capacity at the new terminal
enhancing connections between the UK and mainland Europe

Transport secretary Louise Haigh has granted a development consent order for Associated British Ports’ £100m roll-on
roll-off facility as Stena Line operations ramp up in the Humber
A Department for Transport spokesperson said: “Following careful consideration
the Secretary of State has approved Associated British Ports’ application for a new terminal at Immingham Eastern port.”
The Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro Terminal project has been a long-term plan advanced by ABP
which in early 2022 announced a partnership with Stena Line to jointly develop a new facility at Immingham
A development consent order had been submitted in early 2023 for the IERRT
and a decision had been excepted by this May
following examination of the scheme by the Planning Inspectorate
which offered its recommendations in April
a written ministerial statement was issued by then-Transport Secretary Mark Harper
extending the application’s deadline to 4 October
the project includes improved hardstanding
An ABP spokesperson said “We welcome today’s decision by the Secretary of State on this important project for enhancing the UK’s logistics infrastructure and bolstering trade capacity across the North Sea
“We will comment further after we’ve had the opportunity to study the decision in detail.”
Under the terms of the deal between port operator ABP and Stena Line
which Stena Line would then operate for its first 50 years
The Swedish shipping giant said at the time of the deal that
with four daily freight services running between the Humber and the Netherlands
meaning it needed a long-term solution to increasing capacity
A consultation process held in 2022 led to plans being reduced in scale from the original proposals
going from four berths to three – with less expected vehicular throughput
ABP was also then able to remove the planned eastern trailer park area from the project
As mapped out in the DfT’s communication to ABP dated 4 October

Spanish firm Exolum has claimed a “world first” green hydrogen project at the Port of Immingham in Lincolnshire
announced the start of its plan to transport and store green hydrogen on a commercial scale using existing oil infrastructure via liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC)
Exolum said the pioneering scheme establishes a new model for hydrogen storage closer to consumption points such as ports and industrial areas using existing tank and pipeline infrastructure
LOHCs are organic compounds that can absorb and release hydrogen through chemical reactions and can be used as a means of storing and transporting hydrogen in liquid form
Exolum global strategy and growth lead Ignacio Casajús said: “The pioneering project we have launched proposes a realistic
safe and cheap formula for distributing green hydrogen that is in line with existing demand
we avoid developing new infrastructure by using our logistics network
We are convinced that this initiative will make a decisive contribution to the decarbonisation of the economy and the diversification of alternative energy sources.”
Private equity-backed Exolum is one of the world’s largest liquid logistics companies with a major fuel pipeline and tank storage network in the UK
It delivers fuel to airports for around four out of every ten flights taking off from the UK each year
Its network includes the historic Simon Storage facilities at Immingham
which CLH acquired from Canada’s Inter Pipeline in 2020
The project has received funding from the UK government
which has provided £505,000 as part of the hydrogen storage and distribution supply chain collaborative R&D programme run by Innovate UK
The trial will transport 400 cubic metres of LOHC containing 20 tonnes of hydrogen through a 1.5 km long pipeline connecting Exolum’s facilities at Immingham East and Immingham West in the Humber Region
Laboratory tests will be carried out to confirm that LOHC quality is maintained in this process
This demonstration will also include a scientific study of the potential costs and benefits of converting
Exolum estimates that its facilities in the UK will be able to distribute 4.6 TWh of hydrogen per year
30% of the total demand forecast by the UK government for 2030
This project will contribute to the objectives of the UK government’s clean power mission 2030 by replacing the current underground storage facilities with terminals at the points of consumption of this gas
which began operating in the United Kingdom in 2015
has 22 storage terminals with more than 2.4 million cubic metres of capacity
the company is developing a green hydrogen production plant and refuelling station as part of the Tees Valley hydrogen vehicle ecosystem project
which also includes the construction of a water electrolyser and hydrogen refuelling station at the Exolum Riverside terminal in Stockton-on-Tees
The electrolyser will produce green hydrogen using electricity from renewable sources and will supply both the planned refuelling station
and other customers in the region through the ‘hub and spoke’ distribution model
